I'm on my 3rd round of vanco after it was confirmed that I still have c.diff (1st instance was at the end of December). The first 2 times I took the antibiotic, it quickly resolved my symptoms. This time, I'm not really getting better. I'm not having diarrhea, just frequency. I've been on it for a little less than 2 weeks. This round will be a long round, a 56-day taper. I'm trying to be really careful to make sure I never miss a dose and that I take it every 6 hours.
I know it's always a possibility that I'm flaring, but I don't think so. The only other thing I can think of is that I'm not eating well. But before I try to eliminate things from my diet again, I wanted to know if vanco can just stop being effective after you've taken it a few times.
This sucks, I just want to get through my work day without constantly having to think about finding an available, private bathroom.
